Executive News Editor The proposed Information Sciences building, Y2K difficulties, and the purchase of the Utah County Journal building where all discussed by President Kerry Romesburg at the UVSC Board of Trustees meeting Thursday Feb. 1 1. Romesburg said he was optimistic that the capital facilities committee in the Utah State Legislature will recommend funding for the Information Sciences building. Governor Mike Leavitt left the building off his budget proposal. The need for additional classroom space is evident in UVSC's high enrollment. Romesburg reported to the board Feds want juicier slice of student loan pie An j etta McQueen AP Reporter The federal government got into the business of offering student loans directly to collegians five years ago. But private loans still predominate, and the Clinton administration wants to boost the government program. Both types of loans are actually administered by colleges. However, two-thirds of those institutions choose to offer mainly the private loans. The Clinton administration budget proposal for next year wants to give its own a 25 percent raise, up $1 1 5 million to $735 million, and cut at least $1.4 billion from the private lenders' federal subsidy. The government has subsidized private loans for more than 20 years. Republican lawmakers - who consider the government program unnecessary - say there's little chance they'll help give the government an edge in the $32 billion market for student borrowers. "It's not going to happen," said Rep. Bill Goodling, R-Pa., who chairs the House Education and Workforce Committee. "They just hope they can be the largest bank in the world. ..even though they couldn't handle it. It's all about control." Lenders say the administration is worried about the government program because it's not as successful. "This proposal favors bureaucrats over students," said Mark Cannon, who directs the Coalition for Student Loan Reform, a group of state and nonprofit loan administrators. In fact, the government program-- created to simplify the loan process-is partly responsible for new popularity of the private loans, said Larry Zaglaniczny, a lobbyist for the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. The competition prompted private lenders to begin sending out checks sooner and allowing officials to process loans online. "You had an upstart competitor that shook up an industry that was fairly somnolent." he said.
